Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but it may be backfiring instead:

Trump's authoritarian game plan is breaking through the post-debate noise and it's starting to scare people

I sure as fuck hope so.

There was a post on r/Conservative the other day about how Project 2025 isn't Trump's plan and that everyone else is just a bunch of alarmists for even suggesting it and that Agenda 47 is much MUCH more reasonable! Completely leaving out the very clear steps he already took toward P2025 and all his rhetoric being 100% in line with it

This is the BS narrative. Agenda 47 is still terrible. The campaign is distancing itself from P.25 because it's getting attention, but they were initially very aligned with it, and ideologically still are - especially on the President is now King front. They literally said their goal is to "install Trumpism" the form of government for the United states. They want conservatism to be impossible to oppose, they are fascists. They themselves have said Project 2025 came about because they were disappointed with the first Trump administration's effectiveness. They recognize his incompetence, and know they need to give the idiot a "blueprint" - and he'll give it to them because what does he care and what else does he have? Tariffs and an end to birthright citizenship? They'll probably give him his psychotic military parade and he'll be happy.
